Past

My mom kissed my forehead and caressed my long hair. She's crying and I don't know why.

"Mom, why are you crying?" mula sa malalim na pagtulog ay ginising niya ako. Maybe it's already midnight I think.

"I love you Allen. Always remember that huh?" I nodded. But I still don't know why she's crying when there is nothing to cry about.

When I woke up in the morning, Mom's not with us anymore.

"Dad, where is she?" natatarantang sabi ko dahil kahit saang silid sa mansion, hindi ko siya makita!

Daddy's there sitting on the long rectangular table in the dining area while sipping his usual black coffee. He doesn't look so tensed just like me.

"On a business trip darling." he calmly said.

"But dad! Mom went to my room last night and she's crying!" I don't feel good about this.

"Really? She left early maybe she just want to say goodbye to you." he shrugged. As if he doesn't care at all.

Pinaniwalaan ko naman si Dad. Na baka nga'y may business meeting lang si Mom sa ibang bansa at kailangang kailangan talaga. Na mamimiss niya lang ako kaya siya umiiyak nang gabing yon. Pero isang linggo na ang nakakalipas, hindi pa rin siya bumabalik.

It was ten in the evening when I decided to go to my Dad's room. It wasn't locked so I entered. And there I saw my Daddy. Crying. In the middle of the night while looking at their wedding picture.

I was too young to realize what's happening. I was only six years old. I don't know anything.

My Mom never came back.

"My dear are you already done?" my Dad entered my room while looking at me wearing a designer clothes with fancy accessories.

"Yes Dad!" ngayon, isasama ako ni Dad sa isang party ng business partner niya. I was very excited! This would be the first time na isasama niya ko.

Everyone was dressed beautifully. Hindi naman kami na out of place dahil ganon din naman ang suot namin. Mga mamahaling damit at alahas.

"Sergio! I'm glad you came." a woman with the same age as my dad approached us.

"Happy Birthday Noreen!" they hugged. I was confused while staring at them.

"Thank you!" the lady said and look at me. "Oh is she your daughter?" he knelt just so she could reach me. She caressed my cheek.

"Ah yes. Noreen, this is my beautiful daughter Alessandra Leniora." gumaan naman ang pakiramdam ko sa babae dahil malumanay ang pag haplos na ginawa niya sa aking pisngi.

I smiled at her. "Hi po! I'm Allen." I waved my hands even though we're too close to each other.

"Hi Allen! You're so pretty! How old are you na ba?"

"I'm six na po."

"Oh my son is eight, but I think you'll get together very well. By the way, call me Tita Noreen ha."

"Yes po!" I actively said.

"Mama, Tita Sandra is already there, I wanted to play with Harry and Ceniah." a boy suddenly appeared. Maybe he is the son of Tita Noreen?

"That's great hijo. By the way Allen, this is my son  Klein. Klein this is Allen. You should take her with you and your cousin." napangiti ako don. A playmate huh?
